Is everyone going to go for it the second it's available, or are you going to wait so you don't have to deal with any bugs? If so, when are you going to buy it?
I'm not sure myself. Right now I have no problems with Tiger and reinstalling the OS would just be a bit of a hassle. I think I will probably just wait a month or two to see how it is. I hardly ever buy something right away like that.

I will be heading down to Regent Street on the day that Leopard is launched.

I'm going to get it a.s.a.p
The software looks wonderful, and as long as its not ridiculous, I'm not too bothered by initial stability issues :)

Yup Leopard is cool but Tiger is good enough for now. I`ll wait atleast until 2 months so that any major bugs will be rectified. No one should get leopard on launch except those who get it pre installed on new Macs. Even then I`d have tried to buy my Mac just a few days before leopard starts shipping preinstalled. So that I have a working copy of Tiger for as long as I want and also get Leopard as a free upgrade later.

I'm either getting it day one, or re-upping as a developer and getting it about the same time. Either way, I'll phase it in, but I'll install it on at least one Mac right off the bat... after backing it up, of course.

Haha I will get it as a developer.. but I will probably wait a bit because a back up and fresh install on both of my macs will take forever. So I will just phase it in.

Buying it as soon as it comes out.
Ordering it online though, as I can't get student discounts on software in a physical store.

i'll be pre-ordering it online i'm sure. no huge rush for it which is why i won't be waiting in line or anything, but i'll install it pretty soon after its released. :D

If it's out in October like they say it is. I will wait maybe a few weeks to see what people think of it, problems, updates etc cause this will be the first new Mac OS I will get to buy and install. So I might just take a stand back and watch for a while :)

I'll be getting it within the first few days. Probably the first day, but depending whats going on, I may not be able to get it that day.

Hmm... nobody chose the Vista option yet. Very surprising...

right now i say i'll probably wait but the temptation might be big enough that i'll go get it within a few days after its release.

I'll get it initally with a new MP and then decide whether or not to put it on the MBP.

I'll be waiting for any bugs to be worked out, but probably only because of my experience with Windows. But I won't wait long.
LOL re the last option. Yeah, right. :D
